In this second episode of our podcast, we delve into the complex world of methane emission sources. Join us as we look at the five main sectors that emit methane, unpack how the main ingredient of natural gas is also emitted by cow burps and get a taste of how scientists tease apart the difference. We’ll also touch on why so much emphasis is placed on the emissions from oil and gas.
